FS: 96 Civic EX. (needs some tlc)

[stealthmonkey]

Hello All, Selling this for my girlfriend.

 

We have a 1996 Honda Civic Ex Loaded. The car has been driven and maintained by My girlfriend. She has been very strict about getting the oil changed every 3,000 miles. This car will easily get around 25 to 28 mpg on the freeway. She is getting ready to graduate from college less than a year and she is looking to buy a newer vehicle. The chasis has 284,000, and the replacement motor has 100k on it. This vehicle primary use for driving from sunbury ohio to osu campus each day.

 

Heres the problem the car has a bad cylinder head or a bad head gasket. We have paid a mechanic to troubleshoot it down there is no compression between cylinders two and three. The bottom end of the engine is still good. That the problem is either with one of those two parts (head gasket or cylinder head). The parts to fix this is around $500 and the labor should be around the same. So you could easily have little money in this car.

 

Features:

1.6L Four cylinder engine (honda power plant - SOHC vtec II)

loaded (power doors, power locks, power mirrors)

Cruise, power sunroof, Air conditioning (works good),

 

The Goods: - great for a family or student driver

well maintained with records (oil changes etc..)

New alternator less than a year

New battery less than a year

New Exhaust two years

two new drive shaft axels (driver and passenger sides, less than 15,000)

aftermarket stereo (alpine), and aftermarket speaker replacements

gets great gas mileage and does not use motor oil.

Replaced all tires 2 years ago - Pirelli all weather tires 70% tread left

Transmission works good.

Interior is in good shape

Car rides solid

 

The Bads: currently the car does not move on its own.

The cylinder head needs work (est around $500-$1000) T belt did not slip and it is ok.

Deer ran into the side so it has minor dents on side of car. (please see pictures)

Missing side mirror glass ($40) (please see pictures)

Guys we have already had some offers around the 800 range. If you look at the newer parts the chasis is worth what they are asking. The replacement parts is under $500 and an afternoon worth of work. pretty cake deal for $1k.
